Ruyi Residence

Ruyi Room is situated behind the Hall of Samgharama.

In a Buddhist temple, it is generally the case that a residence is set up for elder monks who need to be taken care of. Such a residence is called Ruyi Residence in Lingyin Temple, which was built at the beginning of its restoration. In the Ruyi Residence, there are specialists who offer care, meals and medical treatment to soothe the pain of sick or dying monks. It is therefore given the name Ruyi Residence, meaning a dwelling place one can satisfy one’s wishes.
